What is Bellamine (belladonna, ergotamine, and phenobarbital)?

Belladonna is a naturally occurring mixture that produces many effects in the body. It reduces spasms within the stomach and intestines, the bladder, and the biliary (liver) system. Belladonna also reduces the secretions of many organs, which helps control conditions such as excess stomach acid.


Ergotamine narrows the blood vessels involved in circulation to the head. Ergotamine can also alter blood flow patterns involved in vascular headaches, such as migraines.


Phenobarbital is a barbiturate that reduces brain and nervous system activity.


The combination of belladonna, ergotamine, and phenobarbital is used to treat symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, sweating, increased heart rate, dizziness, restlessness, headache, anxiety, and trouble sleeping.

Uses For Delacort

Before Using Delacort


In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of hydrocortisone topical in the pediatric population. However, because of this medicine's toxicity, it should be used with caution. Children may absorb large amounts through the skin, which can cause serious side effects. If your child is using this medicine, follow your doctor's instructions very carefully.


Geriatric


No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of hydrocortisone topical in geriatric patients.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol


Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Other Medical Problems


The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Cushing's syndrome (adrenal gland disorder) or

  • Diabetes or

  • Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or

  • Intracranial hypertension (increased pressure in the head)—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.

  • Infection of the skin at or near the place of application or

  • Large sores, broken skin, or severe skin injury at the place of application—The chance of side effects may be increased.
